Insulate Britain activists have caused weeks of travel chaos across the country as they continue to demand the Government make a promise to insulate social housing.
They have blocked the M25, M1, M4, and the Port of Dover, as well as a number of main routes in London including Blackwall Tunnel and Wandsworth Bridge.

On Tuesday the group told the High Court that National Highways should reduce motorway speed limits to as low as 10mph when they are protesting, to keep activists safe.
Dr Diana Warner, a member of the action group, demanded that the roads agency work with protesters to "ensure safety for everyone" amid its efforts to block traffic on major roads.
